Here's a fun one that I still haven't figured out:

I recently purchased a Banana Pi 4 with the 802.11be Wi-Fi 7 module to be used as an access point. It generally works well as an AP and I'm getting full speeds. However, for some reason whenever I try to communicate directly with the router/firewall (separate device on the same network) through this AP, it will intermittently drop 3/4 packets. It only happens when communicating with the router/firewall device, and only over the wlan interface on the bpi-r4. I have a similar AP setup on another embedded system (PCEngines APU2) and this has never been an issue.

I suspect there's some sort of bug with the internal 4-port switch of the bpi-r4 not playing well with the wlan interface when they're all bridged together, but digging through the logs hasn't revealed anything obvious.

It's driving me nuts!
